3PL (Third-Party Logistics)

 

 

A 3PL provider is an external company that takes over outsourced logistics services. This typically includes warehousing, transportation, order picking, packaging, and returns management.

 

Practical Example for SURS Customers

 

A medium-sized electronics manufacturer from the Netherlands wants to enter the Swiss market without building its own logistics infrastructure. It hires SURS as its 3PL partner, which handles the complete storage, fulfillment, and shipping in Switzerland.
